Side by Side object question

[CSharper]

Hello,

I came across a situation where I have a dll that is downloaded as a
activex control. When I tried to run the web app which this control is
used, the control load fails looking for VS 2005 SP1. I found the 2
dependent dll that was causing the problem from VS 2005 SP1. I copied
the files to the download folder where I have downloaded dll ran the
regsrvr, the registration failed. I copied the dependent dll to
system32 and ran regserver and still registration failed. Later I
found a directory of another application which uses the same dll (in
this case the dll reside on the same folder of the application), I
dropped my dll in the application folder and ran the registration,
this time registration was successful.
Now I reimage the box to the same stage where my registration was
failing and ran VS2005SP1 exe from microsoft web site and then ran the
registration now it worked. So I have couple of questions
1. Why my registration failed, when I copied the dependent dll to
system 32 or to the same directory where I have my dll?
2. Why registration was successful when I copied my dll to a directory
where these dependent dlls already exists?
Can any shead some light into this?

Thanks a lot.

CSharper,

If this is part of SP1, then you are more than likely violating the
EULA. Typically, components from VS.NET, Office, and the like require you
to install the full program in order to use the components.

Beyond that, those components more than likely have a number of
dependencies on other components in the distribution, so it would probably
make sense to make sure the entire program is installed correctly anyways.
